Will please ask for the Enterprise, if they
har uo box. Mr. Randall cannot possibly
rtmember every name, on a list so large as
trs t that office. O
Willamette Salt Wokks. This new
-wi4. important manufactory is situated at
the extreme western end of Multnomah
county, and about midway between Port
land and St. Helen. The experimental
works were erected last summer by a com
pany, two of whom reside in Oregon and,
one in California. On the land owned and
controlled by the company there are sev
eral springs, all strongly salineP in their
qualities. It is from one only that the
water used in the manufacture of salt has
been taken that one yielding more than
sufficient brine for running one furnace,
andsmaking about seven hundred pounds
of salt per diem. Having tested the ca-
pacity of the springs, and the quality of
the salt, the Company are now about to
erect more extensive works, and will con
tinue to extend them until there are fur
naces enough IOq exhauSI the capacity of
the springs. Coring operations also will
be immediately commenced, and pipes
sunk ia the wells to exclude the infiltration
of fresh water, with which the brine in its
present state is diluted. The character of
the water in the springs is such that much
difficulty was at first experienced in mak
ing salt that was free from bitter matter
and nioisture,. A careful analysis of the
brine and salt having been obtained, the
proper remedy was at1 last discovered, and
the result has proven that the Willamette
Salt Works can make a salt which isQot
surpassed for excellence by any, probably,
in the world. A specimen of it will go to
the Paris Exhibition in charge of Prof.
Blake of San Francisco. Sufficient salt
has been made to give the practical test
needed. Dairymen and butchers all agree
cas to its superiority over Liverpool, and
its -entire freedom from limej deleterious
acids, etc. Mr. A. II. Johnson, Q Port-
land, who uses it tq-cure meats, declares
it (Worth ten dollars per ton more than

juiverpooi ior mat purpose, in appear
ance it is very white aud shining, and
crystalized to just about the right degree
of fineness for dairy use. By very rapid
.boiling it can be made to crystalize fine
-enough tor table salt. Being so favorably
located for transportation-aDiimt oBe-half
mile from the Lower Willamette slouirh?
tnd in the midst of excellent timber for
" fuel, we considerthat the company have
got a good thing of itand thur another im
portant item ot imports, is dropped ofE) QV.

iJRrxETizixo Pkocess Improved. An
invention has been patented in England
which purports to be an improvement in
the mode of preserving timber by the aid
of petroleum. The invention consists,
firstly, in the immersioOof the timber in
crude petroleum until complete saturation
is effected. Place the timber in aQuitable
vessel or receptacle, cxhauit the air there
from, by the ordinary-jneans of preserving
wood by saturation. The crude petroleum
is next conveyed into the vessel, and
thereby caused to penetrate into every
pe or interstice of the Ovoody fibre, tb
effect being to thoroughly preserve the
wood from Qecay.
Steel Rails. The London aud North
Western Railway have already laid sixty-
three miles of steel rails, and the work oP
relaying with steel instead of iron is to be
(Continued. On the Great Northern steel
rails have also been laid at all the prin
cipal stations and on the steepest inclines
of the railway. In the case of each of these
companies a certain
creased cost of these
portion of the in
rails is charged to
o
capital.
Tin Maxi-factcres. Fifteen million pins
are said to be daily called for in England,
in which two thousand seven hundred and
twenty-seven pouiitfs of brass wireds con
sumed. Some idea of the consumx)tion
of brass wire in the manufacture ijf pins
rrifry be gathered from the fact that one
firm in Birmingham consumes one hundred
and fifty tuns per annum, or three hffndred
and thirty-six thousandCpounds,

Oline P. Morton.
The telegraph announces the election of
Oliver P. Morton of IndianaJ(4p the United
StateCSenate, by a large majority over
his competitor, Daniel Voorhees, thesym
pathizer and friend of Vallandigham.
Gov. Morton is one of the notable men of
the West, and if hi3 health is recovered, is
destined to bear a still more prominent
part in the public affairs of the countrv.
He is now about 40 years of age, and has 1,
been in public life more or less for the
last 17 years. His induction to office was
somewhat remarkable, even for a Western
crjmmunitv. Having been student at
law in Centreville, Ind.T he was in duj?
time admitted to the beg ; but the winter
coming Qi, and business being dull in his
line, he concluded to add to his stock of
legal knowledge by attending Upon the
lectures of the law school at Cincinnati,
where one ofethe professors was even a
younger man than himself. During the
term he wa3 surprised by an announce
ment that the Indiana Legislature had
elected him toQhe office of a Judge of the
Circuit Court of that State. Leaving the
law school, he forthAvith entered upon the
UUUC3 Ul UI3 UiiiVC XiiS H ua lIOli
more of a surprise to him than was the ex
traordinary ability which distinguished
his coursept surprise trpthe people. The
conscious lack of experience made him a
day and nigh t Student, and he becSnio one
of the ablest judges wdio ever helPj, com
mission in that state, o
At the breaking out of the rebellion,
Morton held the office of Governor of In
diana, having beaten his competitor on
the popular(gbte, after stumping the State
and canvassing evetv count v. In no
State in the Union or out of it, was there
a more malignant type of disunion Democ
racy than lliat which opposed every meas
ure brouglii forwartlby the Union men of
Indiana. Having control of one branch of
th(Fj.egislature, the general appropriation
bill was strangled bf them, there being
some (provision in it for the outfit of State
troops. The Legislature adjourned with
out a dollar appropriated for the general
expenses of the State Governmenfrfor the
next tAvo years. The
charitable institu-
(tions depending upon State aid were (not
provided for. Morton raised Che money,
administered the State Government with
economy andiulelity, and n,the meantime
was one of the most Active and efficient
men in the West in rallying forces to the
defense of the (Country.. His own State
upon the very verge of rebellion, and'him
self daily threatened with assassination, he
traversed the State fearlessly, and the
troops and munitions gathered by his in
fluence and put irithe field, are among the
remarkable evenls of that stormy period.
Nor did he stop here ; but he visited the
battle fields and made provisions for the
sick and disabled, nursing the wounded
whom his influence had sent to the battle
field, with the tenderness of a father. Such
a man will always have positive friends
and positive enemies. In many features
07
of $Is public character he jesembles ex
Governor Andrev,scof Massachusetts ; and
both of them wrought with incredible en
ergy for the same oble end ; and) both
are now foremost among the rising nion of
the country.
Morton, after an extraordinary canvass,
was elected the second time Governor of
Indiana, completely vindicating cfevery
act ofchis official life before thepeople.
His recent election to tfie Senate is an
other signal triumph of a man who dared
to do right ;Pnd trust to the future, over an
opponent wlio was not ashamed to do
wrong for a doubtful chance of present
success.
Release of Rcssik Merchants from
Captivity. Intelligent from Bokhara
states that the Emir had released the Rus
sian merchants whom he had captured,
but had again made preparation for de
fense. No communication being forth
coming from the Emir at the expiration of
the term fixed by the Russians for a reply
to the proposals they had made to the
Emjr, the Russian Governor-General
Krys6hanovski crossed fne ifokharian frtfn
tjer, and, after a siege which lasted eight
days, took by assault the fortress oUturne,
capturing 16 guns, 4 flags, and many pris
oners? The Russians, it is stated, lost 3
officers asd 100 men killed and wounded.
The enemy's losses were considerable.
Max axd Mex. On the 5 th of December,
at Orizaba, Maximilian promulgated a
proclamation fn which he says : 4 4 Circum

in our mind the conviction that we ought
to retain the power confined to us, etc."7
So, ho, you will stay awhile longer. What
if Uncle Sam should conclude that 44 cir-
cumstances of great magnitude'
require a
difference of opinion soon!

United States will enforce the doctrines of
Monroe with dispatch.
Woman's Rights. The strong-minded
women at the East appear to be rushing
things of late in matter of making efforts to
secure the elective franchise for the f'emi-
nine gender ; but theh progress is about
as slow as their efforts were ten years ago.
The champions have kept in the shade for
Pvears past, and only now venture on their
purpose under cover of the proposition so
largely indorsed of giving suffrage to col
ored men.

The Steamship Pacific, Capt." Metzger,
arrived at Portland on Sunday nighi, with
San Francisco dates to the ' 24th. Wells,
Fargo & Co., have furnished us with files,
from which sre condense the .following
summary of Eastern news: .

such suflenng in England that a bread
riot has broken out in Liverpool
The Wisconsin Legislature, which
has
m-
justsre-electod Senator Howe, has
structed Dooiittle to resign. "
From England we hear that storms,
cold, shipwreck and loss of life are re
ported from all parts of the Kingdom.
Congress is inquiring how the Land
Commissioner construes the law granting
land to railroads in such a manner as to
render inoperative the homestead and pre?;
emption laws.
A Republican member of Congress
gives it as his opinion that there will be
Ug impeachment of the President, and
contradicts the statement that testimony
has been taken
w 1 he House has adopted an amendment
to Steven's Reconstruction Bill, suspend
ing the privileges of the writ of habeas
corpus in States not represented in Con
gress. Garibaldi has written a letter on Ameri-
can enairs, in wnicn ne tates very sensi
ble views, commending the election of
colored men to the Massachusetts, Legisla
ture, and counseling the President to ac
cept the policy of Congress.
A special dispatch from a high authority
in Washington informs us that under the
new tariff bill all goods in boncLjwill be
subject to the new rates. Some of these
rates, it will be recollected, are advanced.
Ilie new tariff will probably go into effect
on April 1st, 18G7.

We have a singular report from Wash
G'
ton that some ex-rebel has said that some
other (prominent ex-rebeliPhave said that
the South would move in the matteof re
construction by consenting to become ter
ritorialized for the sake of getting a hear-
ing in Congress by
jgates. A wise
conclusion, truly.
Good news of the progress of the Pa
cific Railroad Jxl the other side of the
Rocky Mountains reaches us. The last
line between the North Platte and the At
lantic Ocean isOcomplefod with the List
rail laid onQthe line to Council Bluffs,'
Iowa, which makes a stretch of 300 miles
of road west of the Missouri river.
Advices from Australia state that the
wheat crop in that regionof whiclP we
hnv,e had previous favorable reports, wuld
be so large that there would luyi surplus
for export. New gold fields have been dis
covered among the mountains of the inte
rior, (gnd great excitement had ensued
among the miners.
I Frederick T. Frelinghuyscn, now a
member of the Lnited States, Senate from
New Jersey, under an appointment from
the Governor of that State, has been
elected by the Legislature to fill the re
mainder of the term in which he. is now
serving, nnue vacant by the death of Wm.
Wrjght. The new Senator's tenure of of
fice expires March 4th, 1869.-
Indian war has commenced upx?n the
plains in real earnest, and it is reported
that forty men have been killed on the
Upper Platte, and that thered skins are
traveling east.0 A Luge body of troops
has beengrdered west." It is thoughi all of
the roving bands on the Plains are com
bined, and that there will be a general In
dian war next summer.
The President has 'signed the bill to
provide for the assembing of Congress on
the 4th of March, 1867, so that measure is
KDw a law. The action of the President
is somewhat unexpected, as it was thought
that he would have no difficulty in raid
ing reasons for a veto, if he desired to re
fuse his signature to the bill.
We have a singular story of the mutual
jealousy which existed between0 the dis
tinguished members of the late resultless
emoassy to Mexico. Sherman claimed
precode'iee of rank, and Campbell consid
ered that he was entitled to precedence.
The story runs that the two functionaries
came to a personal altercation and sepa
rated. The mission is said to have been
more of a benefit to the Ortega faction
than to Juarez.
The House Judiciary Committgo has re
ported a bill to legalize all actions of the
President under military law, between
March 4th. 1861, and December 5th. If 63.
The same Committee has also reported a
bill providing a new tost oath for attor
neys, which debars from all United States
Court attorneys who have been guilty of
treason or bribery. This bill, which is
probably designed to lake the place aof
bthat which the Supreme Court decided un
constitutional, has passed to an engross
ment. Congress appears to be considering
some very radical measures, the need of
which is made apparent by recent events.
Broomall has introduced a joint resolu
tion declaring that only two thirds of the
States afitually represented in Congress
shall be considered necessary to consum
mate action by States upon the Constitu
tional Amendments now pending. It is
difficult to see where Congress derives
any authority to make any such decision
binding and final, however correct it
may be.
The political news is somewhat exciting.
An extract of a flaming editorial in a
Washington organ of the President, is pub
lished in which the Radical majority in
Congress was very plainly told that if the
attempt to impeach the President were
persisted in, that functionary would call
on the army and navy to sustain and pro
tect him. Andrew evidently believes in
the arm of fh&di, and has not much reli
ance on the justice of h's own cause. It
is easy for him or his friends to make
threats. Johnson will remember his
friends, and it is reported that several
Senators who have been thrown out by
the people, will be picked up and provid
ed for by thepeople's adversary. The
Indian Bureau is likely to suffer another,
change, Bogy Johnn's favorite. Bogy
being suspected of peculations and
speculations. Nesmith fe talked of as his
successor.
A disgraceful scene occurred in the
House on the night f the 22d"ultimo, the
House being compelled to remain in' ses
sion all night, harrassed with dilatory mo
lions made by the Copperheads, who ex
pected in that way to0stave off a vote on
BoutweH's bill to provide a rebel test
oath for attorneys in the United States
Courts. About noon no the 23d, after
speeches made by the opposition, a vote
was taken and the bill passed by 109 to
44. No other business of special import
arfce was transacted except the reportino
of a bill from the Judiciary Committee of
the House, providing that" in case of the
death, disability or impeachment of the
President, the office shall be filled tempo
rarily by the President pro tempore of the
Senate, or the Speaker of the House, or
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court! or
the oldest commission Justice of that
Court, each being eligible in the order
Qnamed, in case the other places preceding
are not filled.

He is about correct. Of last year's clip
which amounted to near 1,350,000 lbs.
there was shipped through J'ortland 275,000
lbs., and through C resent City 125.000

Victoria. The Colonist, of Victoria, is
. j
rampant because there is a disposition to
re-subsidize the California Steam Naviga
tion Co. It savs:0
'The aspect of affairs have been changed.
Whoa the subsidy was first granted) it teas
for an especial object."
That " especial object'' was an attemxt
by the Chamber of Commerce to blast the
fortunes of Oregon, and Slthougli they had
tne hearty co-operation ot California, tJuM
have uiterhi failed. But to shaw Ifow their
plans h'Ave recoiled upon them; fadrthe
following fj'W lines, as a sample of the
daily gospel truths of the Colonist :
i Four' vejrs ago, how blight ami cheer
ful the Lvopes and prospects ots all ! how
eontenivd each with his lot ! how buovant
with hope eacj immigrant who with guldeiP
visions sought this Ltopntn land ot prom

Where the once iri fryiions radiant with
the sunshine of gladness and contentment?
Where our rapidiv tiicreaing population?
Where our commerce, property interests,
and other elements of wealth and prosper

witness the departure of tftX many familiar
faces that 4iave crowded the downward

The Idaho LicarsLAiTitE.-It would be
hard indeed o find a more disgraceful
legislation record in Christendom, than
that of the recent mob at Poise City,
Idaho. It challenges the world for deg
redation. Recently the Governor vetoed
a bill appropriating SoO.000 from the
General tund in aid of Catholic schools in
the Territory. This was the signal for a
fight. But by far the most outlandish pro
ceedings occurred on tho two last days of
the s session. The President of the late
Council amused himself byobeating a fel
low over the Iiuuo: with a revolver while
being turned out of the hall. Much of the
furniture of the halls was destroyed and
carried away, some amused themselveg
by throwing lamps out of the windows,
etc., all because they were Copperheads,
and could not get their per diem without
subscribing to the oath of allegiance. A
pretty set of vagabonds, surely. If such
scenes are not enough to make a respecta
ble Democrat ashamed of his party, hell
ought to yawn to receive him.
